Donald Trump has done a great service to the great City Of Chicago.
Just when all of this indignation over Donald Trump's big sign appeared to be simmering down, enter Jon Stewart.
Regardless of what Mayor Rahm Emanuel or many other Chicagoans might think of the new TRUMP sign emblazoned on the side of the 96-story Trump International Hotel & Tower, it appears the sign is here to stay.
As crews worked to install the final letter in the TRUMP sign on the Chicago River side of the skyscraper, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office confirmed they were looking at options that could force Trump to take it down, even though he already received city authorization to put it up.
A federal jury has sided with developer Donald Trump -- not the 87-year-old woman who says she was cheated financially after buying two condominiums at his Trump Tower project.
Is Donald Trump a "reprehensible" conman who ripped off an Evanston grandmother and "stole her faith in other people?" Or is he being unfairly sued by a "sophisticated investor" who bought two hotel condos in the Trump Tower "with her eyes wide open" but got buyer's remorse and backed out?
The attorney for an 87-year-old woman who accuses Donald Trump of cheating her in a skyscraper condo deal told Chicago jurors on Wednesday that the "Apprentice" star lied on the witness stand -- then added he was personally repulsed by him.
Tensions ran high in the second day of testimony by billionaire Donald Trump in a case involving the sale of condos at the downtown high-rise bearing his name.
The real estate magnate -- who gained famed for scrutinizing contestants and firing ones he deemed incompetent on his "Apprentice" TV show -- was the one on the hot seat as a plaintiff's attorney grilled him over allegations he had engaged in a bait-and-switch.
Donald Trump is many things.

As odd as it seems, President Barack Obama and Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey are in the midst of a marvelous "bromance".
President Obama doesn't want to have to answer the "difficult" questions on the economy, jobs, the turmoil related to America in the Middle East, and more so he avoids solid news programs to go on popular fluff shows to get softball questions.
Well in this world, the real one, if you look up at the sky in the hope of finding out something about your future, the Moon will most likely give you the middle finger, then tell you your comb over looks horrible from his/her vantage point. Even from way up there in space.
With one generous offer, Trump has reminded the public that Obama still – after one term in office as our president – has hidden secrets which he continues to hide and refuses to reveal.
While Trump may have an "October surprise" that will destroy President Obama's reelection campaign for the White House, I don't think it's going to be much more than seeing Trump get the headlines for part of the day, again.
While the "left" has distracted the campaign much too long by screaming about Romney's tax information for months, the "right" has been asking for President Barack Obama's academic records and other documents for years. The president should take his turn at disclosing long asked for documents.
When Mitt Romney cracked a joke about nobody having to check his birth certificate to know that he was born in Michigan on Friday, the leftist critics went wild. It was like they were desperate to latch on to anything other than the issues now that the Todd Akin story is already burning out on them.
Wishing a pink slip on anyone during these economic times may be harsh, but for saying that Romney's Romneycare in Massachusetts would have saved Soptic's wife and drawing conservative ire across the country, Andrea Saul deserves it.
In 2008 it seemed we had entered a new era of post-racial politics, but the dog whistle politics of the Grand Old Party has again raised its ugly head. In fact, since Obama's election the Tea Party Republicans efforts to race bait have only increased.
Forget Romney's taxes that will simply confirm his wealthy. Let's see Obama's college transcripts and find out what is necessary for him to hide.
